After the dramatic confrontation between the fearless Gen Z youth and the Narok anti-riot police on Wednesday, which is believed to have resulted in Mike Brian Kasaine's shooting death, his family is finding it difficult to accept their son's death.
The men in uniform were overpowered by the fire-breathing youth, according to his family, and they were forced closer to the Narok police gate, where the late man met his demise in battle alongside his crew.
Mary Nyanchoka, a grieving mother, described how her son, in whom she had placed hopes, was struck by fate on a number of occasions, and to make matters worse, the police repeatedly denied ever having shot her son or knowing anything about the case.
